he recovered. . .
Really, it could be anything if he didn't tell her.
She parts her lips to make another joke about his figure, but holds that back. For now.
Another bit of food goes into her mouth, watching him with a raised brow. )
. . . I know how to share y'know.
( She leans back into the seat, visibly confused with an awkward grin pulled to one side. )
Ahah. . . You're sure? Seriously?
( Was it something she said? The teasing? She didn't take him for the type to make him lose his appetite over it.
Could be the choking too, even if
( She leans back into the seat, visibly confused with an awkward grin pulled to one side. )
Ahah. . . You're sure? Seriously?
( Was the teasing too much? She didn't think that would be enough to make him lose his appetite. Unless it was the choking.

( Leaning forward a little to get a better look, just in case. There's probably nothing to worry about. )
I've never seen someone choke on their food eating so slowly. You're just full of surprises, huh?
( Immediately diverting her whole attention to him once he started coughing. Something so simple as choking still had her briefly on edge, ready to react accordingly.

Whoa—! You alright?

see her happily eating. )
( he liked that she was enjoying the food so much. she looked cu-- )

I always thought that was from alcohol? My old man's got something like that.

( he ate pretty slow. enjoying every bite. this place always tasted the same, and he was grateful for it . )
( he added more to her bowl. seemed like she had plenty of curves she could fill out. )
him to cut back.
( Shrugging. She might be a little self indulgent that way too, but something about dad bods. . . Yeesh.
She kept eating, a slightly faster pace than he was. This was her first time and it's hard to wait to enjoy such a delicious flavor.

Aaaaalright, I'll hold myself back for you.
( Felt nice to hear that. It makes her smile soften.
Frankly, seeing anyone she fought by or healed be able to express joy always made her feel warm.
. . . A little warmer with him, but that's not here nor there.

for eating everything. )
( but her words snapped him from it, genuine chortle briefly sounding. she was funny. he hadn't noticed that back then. )
i'll pass on that . eat normal , for my sake .
She points at him with her chopsticks. )
Y'know, you should be eating up before it gest cold. Just cause you're taller doesn't mean you're any less thin!
